TN5250 can handle 20 different AS/400 configurations. Use [Edit] to give parameters as the AS/400 IP address for a session.
Use [Delete] to remove a configuration.
| 
- AS/400 IP Address: Name of the AS/400. Either a TCP/IP address as 155.22.11.2 or a DNS name.
- Port number:Port number for the session. As default TN5250 uses port 23 and with SSL port 992
- SSL: Enable SSL encryption. TN5250 uses the SSL protocol included with the iPhone/iPod.
- Device name: Some AS/400 systems may require this name for a session.
- Name - alias: A name for this configuration, as to make it easier to handle many session configurations
- Auto Login:Use these fields to define an user id and a password
for the Sign On screen on the AS/400.
Notice there is not much security involved doing it! It could be an idea to contact the system administrator to verify it is your company politic to have open access to the system without any password security.
- Auto Login: Enable it to send User ID and Password at session start.
As the password is stored on the phone, this option gives less security.
- Keep alive: Select this option to send keep alive messages at Telnet level.
- Codepage: use the same code page as on the AS/400.

- Use larger f1-f24 buttons: On a tablet with a large screen, use this option
- Use full height in portrait: Either the screen can zoom out to use the full height or width when in portrait. In landscape the height is always used
- 1/3 Display in landscape mode: On phones without a real keyboard, the OS reports
a wrong screen height, when a virtual keyboard is shown in landscape mode. This makes it not possible to
scroll the full screen, above the virtual keyboard. This experimental option tries to solve
the problem, until the bug is fixed in the phone OS.
